The Role
This is a hands‑on EA role, with support required from early May through to the end of July (with potential to extend, though not guaranteed).

You will support a deal team of 4–5 senior executives, working as part of a friendly and established EA team and in close partnership with senior leadership and the wider support function.
Key responsibilities include:
This firm is consistently described as a professional, respectful, and genuinely supportive place to work.

The EA team is supportive, friendly, and well established, and new joiners are welcomed and properly supported. People work hard, but they work well together — and many stay long term as a result.
For a temporary EA, this is a particularly strong opportunity to:
